Unity is a game engine that allows for the development of interactive 3D virtual environments.
The Unity game engine has a relatively easy interface with drag and drop ability making it easy to learn and use. The game engine can be used in both the Mac and PC operating systems and it uses the JavaScript and Just-In Time (JIT) compilation within the C++ mono library. For the purposes of physics and rendering, it uses the Nvidia PhysX physics engine, OpenGL and DirectX for 3D rendering and OpenAL for audio.
From Sketchup, go to 'Export - 3D Model' then select file format of 'FBX'. Before Exporting - Select the 'Options' button, and then check 'Triangulate all faces' and 'Export two-sided faces' This is important. --- Note that you must be using Sketchup Pro 8
Now, make sure that you save the file to the 'Assets' folder within you Unity Project Folder. If you do not do this, it will loose textures.
